Banks’ public interest directors to face Dáil grilling

Public interest directors on the boards of bailed-out banks have been summoned to the Oireachtas finance committee.

It will be the first time the Government-appointed gatekeepers will have reported to the State since they took up their positions in 2008.

Ciarán Lynch, chairman of the finance, public expenditure, and reform committee, said they would be quizzed on their roles and responsibilities during three separate sittings this week.
